Just wanted to let you know I only had 30 mins total to throw this together, and used a leek instead of green garlic, but it still turned out delicious! Basically I only sweated the leeks for 5 mins before adding the stock, threw in the potatoes at the same time, and used an immersion blender in the pot as soon as they were soft. I recommend this shortcut if you are short on time, will definitely be making this again!Clarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15841092967627969240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-60400042689971897832011-05-25T14:37:04.152-04:002011-05-25T14:37:04.152-04:00Stock broth same deal.

Anything that broth brings to the party that stock won&#39;t?<br /><br />I know your immersion blender was broken but how about using a food processor? Or would that tend to puree things too much and perhaps form gluten, making the soup gluey?<br /><br />I&#39;m also thinking that for a minor variant, slightly caramelizing the veggies might add a sweeter note, as you suggest. Any reasons you can think of not to (other than it changes the character of the soup from the original recipe)?<br /><br />BTW, loved your on-camera cameo appearance in the reflection in the spoon during the herb sprinkling.Stevenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-78356626855876084602011-05-23T13:44:37.625-04:002011-05-23T13:44:37.625-04:00Of course!

I appreciate how you let the basic ingredients do the talking, instead of getting unnecessarily complicated.<br /><br />So you minored in &quot;herb distribution,&quot; huh?

I finally found Organic Valley&#39;s regular pasteurized didn&#39;t have carrageenan (but beware that their ULTRA pasteurized cream does have carrageenan). I had to special request it through my nearest health food store (I used Organic Valley&#39;s zip finder to see which local vendors carried their product). I&#39;ll probably bulk order and freeze it - yes I know frozen cream won&#39;t &quot;whip&quot;, but at least I can enjoy cream soups and sauces again, YAY!<br /><br />It seems carrageenan doesn&#39;t bother most people, but I&#39;m finding more and more posts here and there about it. Now you know one source should any of your readers have digestive problems after using heavy cream.Shreelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08827052626667535975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-81997268954699980752011-05-18T08:38:07.590-04:002011-05-18T08:38:07.590-04:00I made this last night, except I used leeks becaus...I made this last night, except I used leeks because I couldn&#39;t find any baby green garlic at my local grocery store..yes Chef John, it&#39;s the one with the big parking lot. :) I put a little too much garlic in though, but it&#39;s still darn tasty.w3bd3vhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00480029561319994339noreply@blogger.com
